A management client is an API key that lets an external system push documents into a Speedtrain index. Find them under Settings → Management Clients.
A management client key does not connect to the MCP server. To drive Speedtrain from an AI agent or a script, see Connect to the MCP server.

​
Creating one

1

Add a client

Give it a name that says what uses it, not who created it. PIM ingestion is useful; Frederik’s key is not.
2

Copy the key

The key is shown once, when it is created.
3

Store it in your secret manager

Then configure the system that needs it to read it from there.
Never paste an API key into a chat, a ticket, a document, or source control. Keys belong in a secret manager or in environment variables.

​
Scope

A management client belongs to one tenant and one environment. A key created in Demo cannot reach Production, which is deliberate — it means a misconfigured integration pointed at the wrong key fails loudly rather than writing to the wrong place.

​
Rotation

Create the replacement, move the consumers over, then remove the old client. Keys do not expire on their own, so periodic rotation is worth scheduling.
If a key may have been exposed, delete it immediately and issue a new one. A deleted client stops working at once.
